Elbow radiograph in a patient with gout. Note large soft tissue abnormality (arrows) superficial to the olecranon. This represents olecranon bursitis. In addition to gout, it can also be seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, or be related to trauma or infection. Bilateral olecranon bursitis is characteristic for gout. (Courtesy of Dr. A.
